LDN -- Top Stories

On
Tuesday evening, Lincoln aldermen heard from
representatives of Crawford, Murphy, and Tilly on how
the city may earn enough money to finance a
state-mandated upgrade to the city's sewerage system.
The firm has been working with the city for the last few
years, on an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
mandated "Long Term Control Plan" that is estimated to
cost the city $20,000,000 in upgrades. To earn money to
pay for this mandate, CMT is recommending the city move
from a flat rate sewer fee to a fee based on water
usage. They offered scenarios for three levels of water
usage, low, average, and high users, and discussed how
the scenarios would impact monthly sewer rates for
Lincoln residents.

The photo above illustrates what the sewer bill could be
based on the three scenarios.

LDN will have additional coverage of this presentation
later this week.
